James from Plumbdog heads out to Camillo to perform a full service on a gas storage hot water system. Over time, sediment and mineral build-up collects inside the tank, which can reduce efficiency and shorten the life of the unit.

In this service, James flushes the tank, replaces worn components, and ensures the system is running safely and efficiently.
